If you attended GuidanceFest last fall you heard the following information. However, we are asking that you spread the word by sharing this information with your teachers.
SB 559 (passed in 2013) – Alternate Tests – Creates certain statutory exemptions to ACE graduation requirements:
If a student scores:
 10% above cut scores on ACT and SAT – they are exempt from taking EOIs in Algebra II, English III, Geometry, US History
 Equal to or above the cut scores on AP exams, WorkKeys exams, CLEP, IB – they are exempt from taking EOIs in Algebra II, English III, Geometry, US History
Note: There will be a process to ensure that the exempted test scores will be calculated for teachers in regards to TLE and for schools for reporting on the A-F Report Card.
